Los Árboles de Verde Esmeralda
by Serena D Polendo
Diría que el noroeste del Pacífico
es uno de los lugares más hermosos de los Estados Unidos…
los árboles verdes y la lluvia
tienen la capacidad de curar corazones que,
no an rompido.
A place where nature explores the rainbow.
Fall vivid trees of 20 shades of orange and yellow.
Winters where vision with a blue tint hits white topped forests.
Summers that soak up neglected vitamin D
and crystal lakes turn into raveging rivers.
La belleza del estado es tan hermoso como unos ojos verdes como el color esmeralda.
Nunca supe que este lugar hermoso existia hasta que lo convertí en mi hogar.
Y no me refiero a mi hogar por ser el lugar donde vivo,
me refiero a ser un hogar por ser un lugar que trae paz,
tranquilidad y calma a mi alma.
Dear Pacific Northwest,
Gracias por la oportunidad,
Gracias por tu amor.
And thank you for your beauty.
English Translation
The Pacific Northwest I would say
is one of the most beautiful places in the United States..
the evergreen trees and rain have the capability to heal hearts,
it did not break.
A place where nature explores the rainbow.
Fall vivid trees of 20 shades of orange and yellow.
Winters where vision with a blue tint hits white topped forests.
Summers that soak up neglected vitamin D
and crystal lakes turn into raveging rivers.
The beauty of this state is as mesmerizing as emerald green eyes.
I never knew a place this beautiful existed until I made it my home.
And I don’t mean home because of it being where I reside,
I mean it being home by being a place that brings peace
and tranquility and calmness to my soul.
Dear Pacific Northwest,
Thank you for your opportunities,
thank you for your love,
and thank you for your beauty.
